12 steps and beyond!

So, we're all at least peripherally aware of there being "12 Steps" in "12 Step Programs" like AA and NA, right? Having worked in coffeehouses for years, which are the bars of the Sober community, I've discovered there are a few extra steps that you won't find in any book on a person who is a friend of Bill. But for those of us outside of this world, here they are, revealed, for the very first time.

The 13th Step is when you start sleeping with everyone else in the program.

The 14th Step is when you start accusing everyone around you with having the very same addiction that you just got Sober over.

The 15th Step is to start using in moderation again, wondering why it took 14 steps to get back to where you were when you first started and hadn't lost control.

With love,

to all of the customers and friends in the Sober world.
